New Blood Test Could Spot Breast Cancer Five Years Before Symptoms Show
The method has been trialled successfully, and could be ready for use in as little as four years.
Scientists have developed a blood test that can identify breast cancer up to five years before patients experience symptoms.
The method has been trialled successfully, and could be ready for use in as little as four years.
The test detects if the body is producing natural defences against the tiny traces of chemicals that cancer cells release into the bloodstream in the early stages of the illness.
Early diagnosis can massively improve patients’ survival chances.
